The Mellow Mushroom, 609 South Elm Street, is a great addition to downtown Greensboro. It opened on December 22, 2008 and already has quite a following. The building has been restored and decorated, maintaining the integrity of the old brick building and playing off the nearby art and antiques galleries. The inside has a cathedral theme with many stained glass windows, mosaic tile mirrors in the bathrooms, and vintage chandeliers EVERYWHERE!
While the cathedral theme is a nice backdrop for this family oriented business, the flamelike colors in the bar area warn of the devilish aspects of imbibing excessively. If you are looking for something to do this weekend, you might want to consider eating a special pizza at the Mellow Mushroom. Our personal favorite is the Mega-Veggie.
On another note, if you are looking for something to do on Tuesday, March 31st, head on over to Aycock Middle Schooll and support the visual and performing arts. They will have some great art items that, likely, will sell for very reasonable prices. They have paintings, wild aprons, some photographs, jewelry. Aycock Middle School has been educating children in Greensboro since the 1920's!
Very nice shot, it does look like it's a cosy kind of place.
